Under the Government's NHS Mandate, 95% of people attending Accident & Emergency departments should either be admitted, transferred or discharged within 4 hours of their arrival. However, following a recent review conducted by the national medical director of NHS England, Stephen Powis, the target could be dropped.
The target was first introduced in 2004 but has not been met nationally for a number of years, and in February 2019 only two NHS Trusts met this target. The exact reason is unclear, however an increasing number of patients attending A&E, continued real-terms budget cuts over the previous decade and an ongoing 'workforce crisis' (the NHS currently has over 100,000 staff vacancies) are all thought to be contributory factors.
Under the proposed changes, patients arriving in A&E departments would be rapidly assessed and then those with the most critical conditions identified. These patients would then receive the treatment they need quickly. Patients with critical conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, severe asthma or sepsis would therefore be prioritised, and targets would be focussed on the time taken to assess patients on arrival, waiting times for the most urgent patients and average waits across all patients arriving at A&E.
There has been a mixed reaction to the proposed changes, which will be piloted in some Trusts this year and then be fully introduced by April 2020 should they be successful. The Royal College of Emergency Medicine has called for the target to stay, saying that they are keen to ensure that changes are not introduced "due to political will". There is concern that the target is being abandoned because it has not been met for so long, and the deputy Chief Executive of NHS Providers has said "we must guard against any sense of moving the goalposts to bring the standards back within reach".
Some have suggested that dropping the four hour target distracts from the real issue, namely the crisis in recruitment the NHS is currently facing, with the chief executive of the King's Fund commenting that "Without enough staff and resources to care for patients, targets both new and old will continue to be missed".
Despite the concerns outlined, some groups have welcomed the changes, with the Care Quality Commission being a notable supporter. The patient group Healthwatch has also said it will support the pilots over the coming months whilst monitoring the changes to see if patients' experiences improve and if safety and quality increase.
Healthwatch's national director Imelda Richmond said the ultimate aim of the changes should be to "free up hard working A&E departments so they can concentrate on delivering the best possible care for their patients". This reflects the concern that the current four hour target takes the focus away from patient care and safety towards simply meeting the four hour threshold, an argument which has considerable weight in light of the finding that around one fifth of all emergency admissions from A&E happen in the final ten minutes before the four hour deadline.
Ultimately the findings from the pilot schemes, which will be implemented in around 15 NHS Trusts throughout 2019, will help to determine whether the scrapping of the four hour time limit is in patients' best interests. Should responses from doctors and clinical staff be positive, the changes will be implemented in full in 2020 in an attempt to improve the services that critically ill patients receive.
It is critical the primary focus must be to ensure a high quality of care for all patients. An issue which can only be addressed, over the longer term, by addressing the NHS funding and recruitment crisis.
At Osbornes Law we care about how you are treated by medical professionals when attending A&E and also following any hospital admission, as well as under the care of private providers of health services. If you think that the care you or a loved one has received fell below the standards expected of a reasonably competent medical professional, then please do not hesitate to contact Partner and specialist medical negligence lawyer Stephanie Prior on 020 7681 8671.

Senior Daniel Miller Awarded $25,000 Watson Fellowship for Exploration of Natural Soundscapes and High-tech Music
Daniel Miller forged a fascination with the connection between art and the natural world at a very young age.
Inspired by a recording of the children's story "Mr. Bach Comes to Call," which dramatized the famed composer's life and described how the space probe Voyager 1 carried Bach's music as well as sounds of planet Earth on its deep-space mission, a five-year-old Miller took take his first steps as a composer by imitating the shapes of music notation.
Daniel Miller '13
"Even as a child, it was an exciting idea that these few pieces of music, along with sounds of the planet itself, were chosen to represent the best of humanity," said Miller.
Eighteen years later, Miller is an accomplished composition and music theory major at Lawrence University, specializing in computer music and its potential to incorporate the power of natural soundscapes.
Beginning in August, he will spend a year traversing the globe as a 2013 Watson Fellow, seeking out communities of fellow computer-music composers who are working outside the traditional boundaries of classical art music.
A senior from Redmond, Wash., Miller was one of 40 undergraduates nationally awarded a $25,000 fellowship from the Rhode Island-based Thomas J. Watson Foundation for a wanderjahr of independent travel and exploration outside the United States on a topic of the student's choosing.
His proposal —"Experiencing Nature Through Computer Music"— was selected from 148 finalists representing students from 40 of the nation's premier private liberal arts colleges and universities. More than 700 students applied for this year's Watson Fellowship.
"I want to experience some of the most moving natural settings in the world along with the communities and artists who work closely with the environment," said Miller, who was home schooled by his parents. "During my Watson year, I want to explore the unusual synthesis of the ancient and the high-tech, the natural and the synthesized in the form of modern computer music."
First Stop — Japan
To that end, Miller will travel to Japan, Australia, Ecuador and Iceland, immersing himself in the local communities of composers and performers working with computer-assisted concert music to learn how nature and local ecological concerns have influenced them as artists.
"I also want to visit unique environments in each of those countries and explore how I, as a classically trained composer, can channel the experience of nature into my music," said Miller, who has written about 30 pieces of music to date, including four chamber pieces that were performed by members of the Seattle Symphony and another that was accepted and performed at the 2012 national conference of the Society for Electro-Acoustic Music in the United States.
In Japan (Aug.-Oct.), Miller would find himself in one of Asia's oldest computer music communities.
"I'm eager to see how computer music developed in a place where art and technology frequently draw on ancient and traditional themes," said Miller, a member of Lawrence musical improvisational group IGLU. "I'll also hike into the Hida Mountains to reflect on the influence nature has had on Japanese music."
Miller will spend November through January in Australia, meeting several noted composers and recording sounds of Tasmania's endemic wildlife, including sub-sea fauna off Australia's southern coast.
The next three months ending in April will take Miller to Quito, Ecuador. Having visited neighboring Colombia during his sophomore year, Miller is eager to return to the Andean region.
Daniel Miller is the 69th Lawrence senior to be awarded a Watson Fellowship in the program's 44-year history.
"My project would not be complete without experiencing how computer music has developed in South America," said Miller, who spent a transformative year studying abroad in 2010-11 at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam in The Netherlands.
He closes his journey in Iceland, which, famous for artists such as Björk and the groups Sigur Rós and múm, is experiencing a musical and computer-music renaissance. He will time his visit to coincide with the Reykjavik Arts Festival as well as the breakup of ice in the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon.
"I plan to hike out into Vatnajökull National Park and camp by the water and record the dramatic sounds of glacial calving."
A Life-Changing Experience
Brian Pertl, dean of the conservatory of music and Lawrence's campus liaison to the Watson Foundation said Miller's Watson year will "most definitely be a life-changing experience " for him.
"Daniel has created a most unusual and exciting Watson proposal which explores how high-tech electronic music composers interact with, and are inspired, by their natural surroundings," said Pertl, a 1986 Watson Fellowship winner himself. "This proposal perfectly combines Daniel's own dual loves of nature and electronic composition. Let the adventure begin."
As for Miller, he sees possibilities that go far beyond his first tentative forays in computer music.
"It's not just about recreating a particular sound but creating an environment in the concert hall that gives the listener the experience they would feel in the natural landscape," said Miller, recipient of Lawrence's James Ming Scholarship in Composition in 2012. "By exploring how culture and environment shape the lives and music of composers around the world, I know I'll learn more about how my own life experiences can contribute to who I become as a composer and as a person."
Miller is the 69th Lawrence student awarded a Watson Fellowship since the program's inception in 1969. It was established by the children of Thomas J. Watson, Sr., the founder of International Business Machines Corp., and his wife, Jeannette, to honor their parents' long-standing interest in education and world affairs.
Watson Fellows are selected on the basis of the nominee's character, academic record, leadership potential, willingness to delve into another culture and the personal significance of the project proposal. Since its founding, nearly 2,700 fellowships have been awarded.
Founded in 1847, Lawrence University uniquely integrates a college of liberal arts and sciences with a nationally recognized conservatory of music, both devoted exclusively to undergraduate education. It was selected for inclusion in the Fiske Guide to Colleges 2013 and the book "Colleges That Change Lives: 40 Schools That Will Change the Way You Think About College." Individualized learning, the development of multiple interests and community engagement are central to the Lawrence experience. Lawrence draws its 1,500 students from nearly every state and more than 50 countries. Follow Lawrence on Facebook.

Quantifying net carbon (C) storage by forests is a necessary step in the validation of carbon sequestration estimates and in assessing the possible role of these ecosystems in offsetting fossil fuel emissions. In eastern North America, five sites were established in deciduous forests to provide measurements of net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) using micro-meteorological methods, and measures of major carbon pools and fluxes, using a combination of forest mensurational, eco-physiological, and other biometric methods. The five study sites, part of the AmeriFlux network, ranged across 10° of latitude and 18° of longitude, but were all of similar age, canopy height, and stand basal area. Here we present a cross-site synthesis of annual carbon storage estimates, comparing meteorological and biometric approaches, and also comparing biometric estimates based on analyses of autotrophic carbon pools and heterotrophic carbon fluxes (net ecosystem production, NEP) versus those based on measurements of change in two major carbon pools (ΔC). Annual above-ground net primary production (ANPP) varied nearly two-fold among sites and was strongly correlated with average annual temperature and with annual soil nitrogen mineralization (Nmin). Estimates of NEP ranged from 0.7 Mg C per hectare per year in northern lower Michigan to 3.5 Mg C per hectare per year in central Indiana, and were also well correlated with Nmin. There was less variation among sites in estimates of ΔC (range, 1.8–3.2 Mg C per hectare per year). In general, ΔC more closely matched NEE than did NEP, but there was no systematic pattern among sites in over- versus under-estimation of the biometric compared to the meteorologically based measures. Root and soil carbon dynamics were significant sources of uncertainty in our biometric measures and represent a prerequisite area of study needed for accurate estimates of forest carbon storage.

Jayme Deerwester, USA TODAY Published 9:29 a.m. PT April 26, 2019 | Updated 9:23 a.m. PT April 28, 2019
The ladies of "The View" couldn't wait to begin the first televised interview with newly declared presidential candidate Joe Biden so they went ahead and brought him out before the very first commercial break during Friday's show and kept him at the table for the full hour.
With a big smile on her face, Joy Behar introduced Biden and grasped both his hands as he walked out. Ana Navarro gave him an air kiss and longtime family friend Meghan McCain greeted him with a hug.
Earlier, she said she was "thrilled" that the former vice president had chosen to do the much-coveted interview on their "all-female talk show."
McCain reminded Biden of his last visit in December 2017, when he comforted her amid her father John's battle with brain cancer. Since then, she said, she's referred to the veteran politician as the "Grief Whisper" and called him "more times that people could imagine."

'The View':Joe Biden, Meghan McCain share heartwarming moment
Joe Biden on Anita Hill: 'I don't think I treated her badly'
Now, eight months removed from the Arizona senator's death, she wanted to know: "Does death ever get easier?"
Biden, who lost his elder son Beau to the same form of brain cancer in 2015, told her it does, eventually.
"There will come a time when you walk by that closet or smell that fragrance or sit out on the porch at that ranch," he said, referencing shared memories of her father, who was also his friend. "You're gonna get a smile before you get a tear, and that's when you'll know you're gonna make it."
Joe Biden at John McCain memorial: 'John's code was ageless'
Biden, who also lost his first wife and daughter in a car crash before his first Senate term, reminded McCain, "There are lots of people who go through worse than what we have and they get up and do it every day without the help we've had."
She also wondered how much Beau, who expressed a hope that Biden would run in 2016, factored into his decision to enter the fray in 2020.
"He's not why I'm running. But I hope he's proud," he concluded, wiping away a tear.
"I hope he's proud of me."@JoeBiden discusses his late son Beau: "He didn't want me to withdraw from the things that have motivated my whole life about trying to ... make things better." https://t.co/rxCXj3uvWGpic.twitter.com/HVA04j3AiW
As for "Sleepy Joe," the nickname bestowed on him by 72-year-old President Trump, Biden, 76, said, "If he looks young and vibrant compared to me, I should probably go home!" He added that he's never been referred to as sleepy before – "Hyper Joe, maybe!"
Meghan McCain weighs in on Trump's jabs at John McCain:'He would think it was hilarious'
'The View' co-hosts of the past 21 years
Twenty-one years ago on Aug. 11, 1997, we were introduced to "The View."

Today we will be focusing on The Love Dare For Parents Day 20. This chapter discusses the importance of making sure we don't end up too busy to spend time with our children.
Today's Dare: Turn off the television and internet tonight and spend some focused quality time with your children. Talk, listen, and play with them.
Today's questions (from page 99): What did you choose to do and how did your family repond?
This is one of those dares that is almost impossible for parents to do today if they do not live with or near their children. Perhaps they are grown or they are currently with their other parent. If you aren't physically with your children today, note this dare down and do it the next time you are with your children. Be creative today if possible, and seek quality time with your children via video chat if they don't live in your house.
If you do live with your children, enjoy the lasting impression tonight will have on your children. Sure, they may fuss about the TV and internet being off. Think of something fun to do together, like playing a card game or board game. What ever it is, your children will see you giving quality time to them.
"We are the ones who need to step in and press pause. Because love takes time. Precious, priceless time. It is th eperpetual passing of our lives. It never waits and never returns. Every act of love requires it. To waste time is to waste a portion of life and another opportunity to love.
While growing up, my parents placed a huge priority on family time on Sundays. We knew, come rain or shine, we would be having a family day every Sunday. My dad was busy and ususally worked close to 80 hours per week. Sundays were sacred to us because it allowed quality time with him. My most fond childhood memories took place on Sundays.
Enjoy today's dare. Make family time a regular priority. If it used to be a priority and isn't anymore, simply start again.

Quand j'étais chanteur est une chanson de Michel Delpech sortie en 1975 sur l'album Michel Delpech/Quand j'étais chanteur et en 45 tours la même année. Elle a été écrite par Michel Delpech et Jean-Michel Rivat, et composée par Roland Vincent. Le 45 tours a été vendu à .

Description
Dans cette chanson, Michel Delpech parle de lui-même en se projetant à l'âge 73 ans (soit en 2019) et évoque avec nostalgie les quelques souvenirs du temps où il était chanteur en pleine gloire. Un chanteur populaire, avec ce que ça a quelquefois de ridicule. Les paroles ont été écrites avec Jean-Michel Rivat, sur une mélodie de Roland Vincent. Cette façon de se projeter dans le temps est inhabituelle. Une quarantaine d'années plus tard, il dit de ce titre :

À deux reprises dans la chanson, un contre-chant interprété par les chœurs évoque l'ancienneté d'alors de succès des Beatles : « Far away Sergeant Pepper, far away Penny Lane, far away Strawberry Fields Forever, far away Yesterday ».

Autour de la chanson

Mort le , à 69 ans, Michel Delpech n'aura pas atteint l'âge qu'il imaginait avoir dans cette chanson. Tout comme il n'aura pas non plus connu la réalisation de ce qu'il annonçait dans son texte :  et .

Enter the polished marble hall, take in the view down the Grande Allée that bisects its gardens, scented with the roses they cut to decorate the bedrooms and cooled by what F Scott Fitzgerald called its 'deferential palms'. The Mediterranean lies beyond, and your spirits cannot but soar. Can there be a lovelier place for breakfast than the terrace of its mansion-like main building, all pale pink stucco, slate mansard roofs and oeil-de-boeuf windows? Or a more flirtatious spot for a coupe de Champagne than the starlit, ocean-liner-like roof terrace of the waterside Eden-Roc restaurant? Or a smarter arena in which to show off your trapeze skills than the swings, rings and rope ladders suspended over the sea, just beyond the heated saltwater swimming pool? Its chintzy bedrooms will never win prizes for innovative design or modernity. There may be Wi-Fi and phones, but a retro panel of bells on the bedside tables still summons your valet, femme d'etage or room service. And yet, in spite of all this – or, more likely, because of it – there's nowhere else on earth quite like it. Hence the eternal allure that ensures the top-floor rooms of its century-old seaside annexe, Eden-Roc, shielded both from public gaze and waterborne paparazzi, remains the A-list's lodging of choice during the Cannes Film Festival.

Every so often a game changer comes along. Six years later than scheduled, this country-house hotel finally opened in September 2018, an 18th-century manor whose estate is vital to its very core. The land has been enthusiastically pressed back into service – albeit with a new, biodynamic twist – both as bountiful supplier and as a playground for anyone staying here. A river and arboretum planted by 19th-century head gardener William Wildsmith unfold beyond the Georgian pleasure garden, rolling into crop fields and farm pastures which guests are encouraged to explore. There is further acreage inside: a private dining room, drawing and morning rooms, a leather-clad screening room. Designer Ben Thompson's layering of soft colours, texture and assiduously polished antiques with contemporary craftsmanship has created a refined earthy feel. Of the 45 bedrooms, six are suites, including the bold Ochre Room with its chocolate marble bathroom, the sleek off-white Panelled Room, and the Long Room, with a log fire and its own terrace. Skye Gyngell, formerly of café-turned-Michelin-star-sensation Petersham Nurseries, heads up its two restaurants: Marle and casual, brick-clad Hearth. She brings the farm-to-fork ethos in evidence at her London restaurant Spring but here in her rural domain, the ingredients (peach leaves, perhaps, for subtly flavoured ice cream) can be plucked to order from a walled orchard yards, not counties, away. In the absence of your own stately pile, this estate's return to authentic, productive life is the closest you can get to lording it up. By Sally Shalam
From its seven pools to its Ka'upulehu Cultural Center, which hosts daily hula and ukulele lessons, the No. 1 Best Hotel in Hawaii - The Big Island provides guests a variety of ways to embrace all that Hawaii has to offer. At this Four Seasons outpost's five restaurants and lounges, visitors can savor sushi rolls and American and Italian dishes made with fresh seafood. Meanwhile, golfers can tee off at the oceanfront Hualalai Golf Course. And inside the 243 guest rooms, suites and villas, travelers will find natural elements like bamboo canopy beds, slate floors and bathrooms with granite accents.

Building a hotel into the face of Santorini's dramatic sea cliffs lends an immediate advantage: The location alone is enough to make it a showstopper. Happily, the 18-room Mystique lives up to its stunning site, and is well worth the step-filled trip it takes to get there. The free-form rooms, decorated in what might be called cave-art style (driftwood for headboards, a dining table and chairs that appear to be made of egg-shaped boulders), are carved directly into the cliff, and the views—toward the town of Fira—are magnificent.
This Four Seasons property attracts beach lovers. Positioned along a beautiful stretch of Hulopoe Bay sand overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this resort offers breathtaking ocean views, manicured grounds and top-notch customer service. During their stays, guests can enjoy outdoor pursuits, such as snorkeling, deep sea fishing, hiking, whale watching, scuba diving and more. Visitors use terms like "paradise" and "heaven on earth" to describe the property. Guest rooms all feature private patios, as well as amenities like 75-inch flat-screen TVs with Blu-ray players, Nespresso machines and free internet access. One of the most loved features is the complimentary shuttle, which will cart you to and from Lanai Town. Recent visitors do say you should brace yourself for the high cost of meals at the resort's multiple restaurants and treatments at the in-house spa. Still, most travelers enjoy this Four Seasons resort's piece of shoreline and its world-class golf course.
The charming and quirky Crosby Street Hotel is located in Manhattan's trendy SoHo neighborhood.

The contemporary-chic Viceroy has a retro Chicago façade and mid-century furnishings within. Textures and patterns grab the eye, including an abstract headboard wall, carpet that looks like a sand-hued topographic map, and—yes—quotes from Marcel Proust, reproduced on the lobby's 30-foot-wall. The ground level restaurant Somerset, from chef Lee Wolen, is a serious asset for the Viceroy; his creative American fare (don't miss the beet tartare and sausage-stuffed whole roasted chicken) matches the vaguely nautical, club-like setting. But don't skip the 18th floor, where he also does cocktails and bites at the swanky rooftop lounge Devereaux.
The Indian ethos that the guest is god rings true of many grand hotels in the country, yet the Oberoi likes to put its own spin on things. Rising like a great gilded cake from the western shores of Lake Pichola, magnificent Udaivilas is just the spot to wash up after a dusty Rajasthan road trip. This particular pleasure palace is a relatively recent arrival but, like the 18th-century mansions it overlooks, it was built to showcase the craftsmanship of the Rajput era: marble-carved lotus ponds; glittering thikri mosaics; delicate miniatures painted on pale gold walls hand-plastered with lime, crushed marble, egg white and tamarind. The spectacular Candle Room contains a dome set with thousands of pieces of mirrored glass. Udaipur's busy market streets are only a few miles away, but Udaivilas has the luxury of space: 30 acres of what used to be the Maharana of Mewar's hunting estate, with bird-filled grounds and views of the pretty lake and its floating mansions. All this grandeur could feel cold and overwhelming if it weren't for the excellent staff. Guests are greeted off the motor boat by doormen with great twirling moustaches and within minutes everyone knows your name. Small, personal interventions include gifts of a metal-wrought tea light or beaded bag, say, left in your room alongside a handwritten note. In the most romantic city in India, this is the most spectacular place to stay. By Pippa de Bruyn

He teaches his clients that innovation isn't just about generating occasional new ideas; it's about staying consistently one step ahead of the competition.
- Hire people you don't like. Bring in the right mix of people to unleash your team's full potential.
- Asking for ideas is a bad idea. Define challenges more clearly. If you ask better questions, you will get better answers.
- Don't think outside the box; find a better box. Instead of giving your employees a blank slate, provide them with well-defined parameters that will increase their creative output.
- Failure is always an option. Looking at innovation as a series of experiments allows you to redefine failure and learn from your results.

AgriForValor Hub Ireland organized a successful two-day bioeconomy interhub mission to the Netherlands
14th & 15th February 2018
Published on 03-04-2018 15:53:13 by AGRIFORVALOR
The study visit took in two biorefinery site visits, to Empyro and Newfoss B.V. along with a visit to Wagenignen University Food and Biobased Research, including the Biobased Product Innovation Plant.
Fig 1: Vist to Empyro Plant
The first vist on 14th February was to BTG Biomass Technology Group BV (BTG) and the Empyro FPBO Plant - BTG is an independent, private group of companies, headquartered in Enschede which for the past 30 years has specialised in the process of conversion of biomass into useful chemicals, fuels and energy. BTG primarily focus on thermochemical technologies at different stages of development ranging from R&D activities to commercial application. BTG facilitated a tour of their research facilities at Enschede and introduced a number of ongoing biobased projects including; RoadToBio (BBI JU) delivering a roadmap illustrating the 'sweet spots' for Europe's chemicals industry towards the Bioeconomy up to 2030; Bio4Products a 3 ton/annum pilot plant (visited by participants) aiming to demonstrate an innovative two-step conversion method to transform straw, bark, forest residues and sunflower husks a wide variety of end products; MAGIC (Marginal Lands for Growing Industrial Crops) aiming to promote the sustainable development of resource-efficient and economically profitable industrial crops grown on marginal lands. Participants then visited the Empyro Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil commercial-scale facility at Hengelo developed by BTG, producing 20 Million Litres of pyrolysis oil annually from woody biomass, which is used for substitution of natural gas in steam generation by Friesland Campina 30 km away. The pyrolysis oil can be upgraded to transport fuel and can also be blended within conventional refineries, and used as a building block for chemicals. The participants were impressed by the commercial potential of the thermochemical processing plant in Hengelo in addition to the piloting facilities developed for the 3/ton per hour Bio4Product project as Enschede. The potential of the technology was of interest particularly to forestry representatives, while the potential of new industrial crops as part of the GRACE project was interesting to those coming from an agricultural background.
The next visit on the 14th February was to Newfoss Green Biorefinery in Uden where residual grass (e.g. verge grass) and waste biomass streams, are refined using a mild extraction process to isolate fibres which with applications as a raw material for the paper & cardboard industry and a residual juice fraction which can be used for composting with potential as biogas and liquid fertilizer replacement, as well as a platform for polylactic acid (PLA) production. This visit was particularly interesting for members of the grass biorefinery innovation partnership group (Biorefinery Glas), and particularly for stakeholders from Ireland which has over 50% of grassland.
Fig 2: Visit to Newfoss BV
On the 15th of February the group visited the Wageningen University Bio-based Products Innovation Plant, a large R&D facility used by WUR bio-based researchers to develop innovative processes to convert green raw materials (biomass) into bio-based products. Aside from a visit to the Innovation Plant, the participants heard from leading Netherlands experts on topics including small-scale biorefinery opportunities for agriculture, industry developments in the circular bioeconomy, and research innovation at Wageningen Food and Bio-based Research. A pitching session was also held at this event, and networking between participants was held in between talks.

Milledge Luke Bonham (December 25, 1813August 27, 1890) was an American politician and Congressman. He was later the 70th Governor of South Carolina from 1862 until 1864, and a Confederate General during the American Civil War.

Early life and career
Milledge L. Bonham was born near Redbank (now Saluda), South Carolina, the son of Maryland native Capt. James Bonham and Sophie Smith Bonham, the niece of Capt. James Butler, who was the head of an illustrious South Carolina family. Milledge was a 1st cousin once removed to Andrew Pickens Butler. He attended private schools in the Edgefield District and at Abbeville. He graduated with honors from South Carolina College at Columbia in 1834. He served as Captain and adjutant general of the South Carolina Brigade in the Seminole War in Florida in 1836. That same year, his older brother James Butler Bonham perished at the Battle of the Alamo.

Bonham studied law and was admitted to the bar, in 1837, and commenced practice in Edgefield. During the Mexican–American War, he was lieutenant colonel (from March 1847) and colonel (from August 1847) of the 12th US Infantry Regiment. Two other members of his regiment, Major Maxcy Gregg and Captain Abner Monroe Perrin, would also become generals in the Civil War. After he returned home, Bonham was the major general of the South Carolina Militia. Entering politics, he served in the state house of representatives from 1840–1843. He married Ann Patience Griffin on November 13, 1845. Bonham was solicitor of the southern circuit of South Carolina from 1848–1857. He was elected as a Democrat to the Thirty-fifth United States Congress (succeeding his cousin, Preston Smith Brooks) and the Thirty-sixth United States Congress, and served from March 4, 1857, until his retirement on December 21, 1860.

Civil War
In early 1861, the Southern states that had seceded from the Union appointed special commissioners to travel to those other slaveholding Southern states that had yet to secede. Bonham served as the Commissioner from South Carolina to the Mississippi Secession Convention, and helped to persuade its members that they should also secede from the Union.

Bonham was appointed major general and commander of the Army of South Carolina by Gov. Francis W. Pickens in February 1861. He was appointed brigadier general in the Confederate Army on April 19, 1861, and commanded the First Brigade of the Confederate "Army of the Potomac" under P.G.T. Beauregard. He fought in the First Battle of Manassas, commanding his brigade as well as two artillery batteries and six companies of cavalry in the defense of Mitchell's Ford on Bull Run.

He resigned his commission January 27, 1862, to enter the Confederate Congress. On December 17, 1862, the South Carolina General Assembly elected Bonham as governor by secret ballot. He served until December 1864. During his term, the General Assembly enacted a prohibition against distilling in 1863 and also that year, it demanded that more land be used to grow food instead of cotton to increase the supply of food in the state. Bonham rejoined the Confederate Army as brigadier general of cavalry in February 1865, and was actively engaged in recruiting when the war ended.

Near Greenville, South Carolina a group of troops positioned there, because of worry of federal invasion from North Carolina, named their emplacement, Camp Bonham, in his honor.

Dates of rank
 Major General (South Carolina Militia), February 10, 1861
 Brigadier General, April 23, 1861
 Brigadier General, February 20, 1865

Postbellum activities
Bonham owned an insurance business in Edgefield and in Atlanta, Georgia, from 1865 to 1878. Returning to politics, Bonham was again a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives  from 1865–1866 and a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1868. He was a member of the South Carolina taxpayers' convention in 1871 and 1874. Retiring from public service, he resumed the practice of law in Edgefield and engaged in planting. He was appointed state railroad commissioner in 1878 and served until his death at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. He was buried in Elmwood Cemetery in Columbia.

I have two newspaper obituaries (Fisherman and Farmer, Edenton, N.C. 12 Sept 1890 and Swain County Herald, Bryson City, N.C. from 11 Sep 1890) that report General Milledge L. Bonham, railroad commissioner, was found dead in his bed in his room at Hawood, White Sulphur Springs, North Carolina from hemorrhage during the night.  WSS, North Carolina was a late-nineteenth resort in Surry County near Mount Airy, N.C.

Money management for school leavers
by: Abby Young-Powell
Many young people are now moving on from school to other forms of education, or employment. Abby Young-Powell takes a look at how to manage the money side of things. Abby is a freelance journalist and was previously a deputy editor of Guardian Students.
A new chapter of your life begins when you leave school. Whether you're 16 and starting work, heading to university at 18, or still figuring out what you want to do; it's a big transition and you'll have to take care of yourself - and your money.
"It's quite a key time because many young people will have to manage money by themselves for the first time," says money coach Kim Crewe.
This year it's even more important for young people to be financially savvy. The coronavirus pandemic has led schools to shut and exams to be cancelled. At some universities the lectures may be entirely online until next year and restaurants and bars, often a source of part-time work for young people, may be running at reduced capacity due to social distancing.
We spoke to experts to find out how young people can stay in control of their finances when they leave school this summer. Here's what they said.
Get the basics sorted
It's good to start off as you mean to go on; develop good money habits now and they'll stay with you for the rest of your life.
If you haven't already got one, you'll need to set up a bank and savings account. "Get a bank account as soon as you can because it will help you get a credit score, which will help at a later stage," says Kim. You might need to shop around a bit and do your research to find a bank account that suits you, as all have different benefits. Starling has an easy-to-use account for 16-17 year-olds, which offers instant payment notifications and spending insights, for example.
If you're working, you'll get payslips and you'll need to understand them. "It's so empowering for young people to understand that this payslip shows you exactly what you've earned and exactly where it's going, regarding tax and national insurance," says Talia Loderick, a money coach who delivers financial education workshops for young people.
It's a good idea to keep payslips for about two years, so you have a record and can check everything. "Make sure you understand the terms, such as that NI is national insurance," Talia says. "You need to understand it so you can make sure it's correct," she says.
Put together a spending plan
It helps to think of this as a plan for your money, rather than a budget. "It's not a restriction on what you can spend," says Talia. "It's a positive thing."
There are a number of online resources that help young people to create a plan, or budget; websites like the Money Advice Service and Money Saving Expert. You can also budget easily through Starling's banking app.
But, ultimately, it doesn't matter how you put together a plan, it just matters that you do one, says Nick Smith-Patel, head of education for young adults at MyBnk, a charity that delivers financial education programmes for young people. "Some people will do it on a bit of scrap paper and that's fine, as long as you know what you've got coming in, what's going out, and what the difference between those two figures is," he says.
Keep in control of your bills
When you get paid, whether through work, funding, or university loans, it's a good idea to pay your bills straight away. "Take away the priority expenses - such as your bills for heating and electricity, first," Kellie McAlonan, student funding team leader at the University of the West of Scotland, says. "You should always pay those bills before you purchase something that's not a necessity," she says. Once you've paid those, you can take a look at what's left.
If you have a problem and can't afford to pay a bill, it's important to speak up about it early and to try to solve the problem. "The number one mistake is for people to panic and bury their head in the sand," says Nick. "Speak to someone about it and let the company know how much you can manage to pay."
When it comes to housing and accommodation, decide what you can afford before you start house-hunting; remember you will have to budget for gas, electricity, water, internet and a TV licence, so ask which bills are included. Take a look at the Shelter guidelines to know what your rights are. When problems arise, take photographs, and at the end of a contract be prepared to dispute deductions from the deposit if you feel charges are unfair. If you are going away to a college or university, make sure you're aware of any residency options they offer and how these may be affected by the coronavirus situation.
Make your money last
Part-time work for school leavers may be harder to come by this summer, as social distancing measures have hit the hospitality and tourism industries. There are still jobs to be had, however. You could seek out work at an employer like Sainsbury's, with Deliveroo, online, or by being part of a research focus group, for example. Nick says young people shouldn't feel any shame about turning to the welfare state if they need to, either.
Whatever you do, you'll want to be a bit savvy with your money. It's wise to use price comparison sites to get the best deals possible. Reusing or repurposing clothes or furniture is good for the environment, as well as your bank balance.
Another tip is to wait 24 hours before you buy something if it's not something you need. "It takes about that time to settle down after you get that initial adrenaline spike," Nick says. "You might also get offered a discount through abandoned cart emails."
If you're planning to go to university then you might want to get a Totum student discount card. The card offers discounts at a range of stores, from Asos to Apple. You can also get second hand or library books, rather than splashing out for new course books.
Develop a savings habit
Money is tight for many people at the moment, but putting a small amount away regularly adds up. "[For young people] it's about building good habits," says Talia. "To do that you need to start small and repeat the habit consistently," she says. It might seem small or pointless, but it will help you to pay bills when times are tough, or to treat yourself.
You can revise your financial plans as you go. "Put aside time each month to think about money and to set some goals," says Kim. "It's helpful to have visions for the future to work towards." Abbey Carter, 18, says she's been putting money aside each month from her job to save for a car. "It definitely helps to have a goal for the money," she says.
Don't be an ostrich and bury your head in the sand; there's no shame in talking about money, admitting you don't understand something, or asking for help. If you're heading to university, McAlonan says, individual universities will have teams of advisors who can point you in the direction of the best unique schemes for that community or university.
You can also talk to family, friends, your bank, or your boss, or get help from organisations like the Money Advice Service or the National Youth Agency. "People will struggle if they just bury their head in the sand and hope for the best," says McAlonan. Instead, it's better to be proactive and in control of your money. "If you do that you're developing skills that will work for you for the remainder of your life," she says.

Why stress about planning and executing meals when you can buy tasty and healthy takeaway meals for your whole family?
September is almost here. It's sad, but true, and with that means back-to-school season and an end to laid-back summer schedules. Since it takes a few weeks to get back into the rhythm of balancing work with school and life at home, sometimes dinner is the last thing you want to think about. Here are four places in Calgary where you can swing by after work and pick up a quality dinner to feed the family at home – no muss, no fuss.
Now available at four locations in Calgary (Crowfoot, West Springs, Macleod Trail and Shawnessy), this grocer's from-scratch dinner options offer plenty of variety, from simple salads to hearty portions of pasta, pot pies and more. Each day of the week sees a different featured dinner package. Come by on a Monday for a big meatloaf for the family, on a Tuesday for lasagna with fresh side dishes, and so on.
If you find yourself too busy to even pop into a location and pick up dinner, don't stress because Made Foods delivers. Made Food's executive chef Andrea Harling gets creative with her menus that can help you out at home with anything from breakfast to dinner and even snacks. Vegetarians should try out the vibrant roasted beet risotto made with red and gold beets, kale pesto and parmesan, and if you're craving some meat, the apple-stuffed pork loin with apple bacon jam and smashed potatoes should do just fine.
One of the city's most well-known destinations for meals to-go, The Main Dish in Bridgeland boasts a ton of healthy meal options that are especially perfect for the more sporty of families. Apricot almond quinoa salad, panko- and almond-crusted chicken and turkey yam gnocchi are just a few of the different dishes you can bring home to a hungry crowd.
Una's new next-door concept not only offers its signature pizzas to-go, but a whole array of other dishes to take home and enjoy too. There's braised veal and pork meatballs, roasted broccoli with walnut vinaigrette, chipotle-spiced half chickens with potato pav and plenty more. If you have time, take a peek in the back of the room to find Frenchie, their cozy and slightly secretive new wine bar.

Terrestrial climber to c. 5 m tall. Stem terete, 2-4 mm diam., internodes of climbing stems 2-4 cm long; internodes of short shoots 0.25-0.75 cm long. Leaves coriaceous, sessile, blade oblanceolate to oblong, sometimes narrowly so; leaves of short stems 7-12 by 1.6-2.8 cm; leaves of climbing shoots 7.5-28 by 1.8-3.3 cm, apex shortly acuminate to obtuse, often unequal, not peltate, base decurrent-amplexicaul, extending down the stem by 0.5-1 cm, and clasping it by 9/10 its diameter, the wings short, but 4-6 mm broad, and almost meeting opposite the axil. Longitudinal nerves 3 on each side of the midrib in the outer half, from the leaf base. Pennate nerves apparently few, patent, inconspicuous. Above each inflorescence, the first leaf of the shoot has an ovate blade, 2.5-4 by 0.7-1.3 cm, with an acute to obtuse apex, and lacks a tendril. Lower pitchers ovoid-ellipsoid in the lower half, the upper half subcylindrical, tapering slightly to the mouth, 5-8.5 cm long, 1.5-3 cm wide at the base, 1-1.8 cm wide at the mouth, with two fringed wings, 1-3 mm wide, fringed elements 1-2 mm long, 1-2 mm apart; mouth ovate, oblique, slightly concave; peristome rounded, 0.5-1.2 mm wide, not sinuate, ribs 0.25 mm apart, the inner margin with teeth 0.5-1 mm long; lid ovate-elliptic, 1.4-2.7 by 0.9-2 cm, apex rounded, base truncate to slightly cordate, lower surface lacking appendages, with numerous circular, crater-like glands 0.1-0.15 mm wide, those on the midline, larger, elliptic, to 0.35 mm long; spur c. 5 mm long, entire. Upper pitchers as the lower, but more cylindrical, 7-11.5 by 1.2-2.7 cm; wings sparsely fringed near mouth and to 2 mm broad, or lacking fringed elements, 0.4-0.5 mm broad; mouth, peristome, lid and spur as in lower pitchers. Male inflorescence 9-13 by 1.5 cm; peduncle 2.5-4 cm long; partial peduncles 2-flowered near base, but mostly 1-flowered, 0.5-3 mm long; bracts absent; tepals elliptic, c. 3.5 by 2 mm; staminal column 1.5-2 mm, anther head with anthers subglobular, 1-1.25 mm diam. Fruit valves 35-47 by 3-4 mm. Seeds not recorded. Indumentum as N. hirsuta, but denser and longer, of erect, slightly forward pointing, mostly simple, dark coppery, bristle-like hairs 1.5-4 mm long, persistent and highly conspicuous on the stem, tendril and peduncle, sparser on the lower leaf blade, and shorter and denser on the inflorescence, including the axis, lower tepal surface and staminal column. Upper leaf blade, midrib, upper tepal surface and fruit, glabrous. Colour of stems (when dried) purplish grey; pitchers glaucous green, flecked red, especially inside, peristome red or greenish; flowers red.A
This species is closely related to N. hirsuta, but distinct in the amplexicaul-decurrent leaf base, and also in the pilose character of the indumentum, with dense bristle-like hairs 1.5-4 mm long (1-2 mm long in N. hirsuta) on purplish grey stems (brown in N. hirsuta). The male flowers have a staminal column only 1.5-2 mm long at anthesis (3.5-6 mm long in N. hirsuta). Nepenthes hispida appears to be common in the region surrounding the Lambir Hills of northern Sarawak, with one collection being known from nearby Brunei and the type from the Lawas River. It is also related to N. macrovulgaris and N. philippinensis which can be distinguished by being glabrous and lacking peristome teeth.
This name was long overlooked, partly because of difficulties with its typification. Beck cites the type as "Am Lawas River bei 2000 bis 3000 Fuss (Low)!" At Kew there is a collection with a printed label of F.W. Burbidge attached; however, there is also a larger, hand-written label: "N. species, Lawas River, 2000 to 3000 feet no flowering or seeding specimens seen." At Vienna (W) there is a duplicate of this sheet with details presumably transcribed from the Kew label. Beck probably saw the Kew material as well, and probably interpreted the handwriting as Low's. The specimens accord exactly to Beck's description in both dimensions and appearance. Macfarlane in Das Pflanzenreich 4, 3 (1908) 49 placed N. hispida as a synonym of N. hirsuta, under the var. typica which he described there. Under this variety he cites 3 collections '(Low!, Beccari!, Burbidge!)'. Since the former specimen is most likely the type of N. hirsuta, the varietal name is superfluous and illegitimate. The last named specimen, however, is in all likelihood the specimen we interpret here as Beck's 'Low' specimen. Danser in Bull. Jard. Bot. Buitenzorg III, 9 (1928) 309 was sceptical of Macfarlane's treatment of N. hispida, but did not see the type, and placed it as a questionable synonym of N. hirsuta.A

Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon visited Baidoa Monday (July 8th) to conduct a security assessment and hold talks with local leaders on plans to remove al-Shabaab from the entire Bay region, UN-funded Radio Bar-Kulan reported.
Shirdon was accompanied by the ministers of defence and trade, members of parliament and top government officials.
Although Somali and Ethiopian forces liberated Baidoa from al-Shabaab in February 2012, the militant group still controls villages in the region.
This is Shirdon's first visit to Baidoa since he was appointed prime minister in October.

text: Q: Implement chat with minimum http requests I am making a completely online website using node.js and react and I want to implement a forum in it. While saving the messages in the mongodb database how should I go about it so I don't have to make an http request for every single message as that will be bad economically. The chat will be implemented using socket.io and I interface with the database using mongoose.

Q: What did I do wrong in my function involving raising an exception? The instructions:
Write a function validate_input(string) which takes a command string in the format 'command arg1 arg2' and returns the pair ('command', [arg1, arg2]), where arg1 and arg2 have been converted to floats. If the command is not one of 'add', 'sub', 'mul', or 'div', it must raise InvalidCommand. If the arguments cannot be converted to floats, it must raise InvalidCommand.
Typical inputs and outputs:
validate_input('add 2 3') -> ('add' [2. , 3.])
validate_input('hahahaha 2 3') -> Raises InvalidCommand()
validate_input('add six 3') -> Raises InvalidCommand()
Here is my code:
class InvalidCommand(Exception):
    pass

def validate_input(string):
"""
validate_input(str) -> (str, [float])

If string is a valid command, return its name and arguments.
If string is not a valid command, raise InvalidCommand

Valid commands:
  add x y
  sub x y
  mul x y
  div x y

Arguments x and y must be convertable to float.

"""
    inlist = string.split(' ')
    commands = []
    strdigits = []
    floats = []
    output = []
    for x in inlist:
        if x.isdigit():
            strdigits.append(x)
        else:
            commands.append(x)
    for x in commands:
        try:
            x == 'add' or 'sub' or 'mul' or 'div'
            output.append(x)
        except ValueError:
            return InvalidCommand(ValueError)
    for x in strdigits:
        try:
            float(x)
            floats.append(float(x))
            output.append(floats)
        except ValueError:
            return InvalidCommand(ValueError)
    return tuple(output)

A: There are multiple errors,so I will address the question in the title: what are the errors with raising an exception ?
To raise an exception, use raise ExceptionType(parameter), not return
Like this:
 class InvalidCommand(Exception):
     pass

 try:
      s = raw_input("Enter a number:")
      x = float(s)
 except ValueError:
      raise InvalidCommand(s+" is not a number")

Note that Custom exception types always need to be defined somewhere. Since InvalidCommand is a custom Exception type (not included in Python), there should be a class definition for InvalidCommand before using it.  This class definition could go near the top of the python program file, and only needs to appear once.
For more, see Python docs -- errors and exceptions

A: Line #37 (for loop), You are appending the value immediately from floats, which is causing it to append the list of float twice to the output variable.
For input mul 5 6, it is returning ('mul', [5.0, 6.0], [5.0, 6.0]), so the first thing you need to do it put output.append(floats) after the loop.
for x in strdigits:
    try:
        float(x)
        floats.append(float(x))
    except ValueError:
        return InvalidCommand(ValueError)
output.append(floats)

Secondly this is wrong way to do it,
x == 'add' or 'sub' or 'mul' or 'div'

Check these output from Python shell.
>>> x = 'fas'
>>> x == 'add' or 'sub' or 'mul' or 'div'
'sub'
>>> x in ['add','sub','mul','div']
False
>>> bool('sub')
True

I hope it's clear, so change your condition to
if x in ['add','sub','mul','div']:
    output.append(x)
else:
    raise InvalidCommand(ValueError)

to deal with invalid command value.
As Paul suggested in comments, use raise Exception to raise an exception.
